Hello. I have an unusual request. I bought a Kenwood surround sound system a long long time ago. I think it was somewhere around 1994. Now I still have all the components and speakers. The subwoofer is one of those that you have to run speaker wire to and from the sub.

I want to use the sub on my onkyo that I have outback in the patio. But I do not know if I can connect it to the onkyo. the sub does not have an rca connection to just simply run from the sub to the back of the onkyo. How can I hook it up to it??

Is your sub self-powered ("active")? If yes, run wires:
- from your AVR's L+R speaker-level outputs to the sub's L+R speaker-level inputs;
- from the sub's L+R speaker-level outputs to the L+R speakers.
And, in the AVR's speaker set-up menu, set "subwoofer" to "none".

If your sub is not self-powered ("passive"), you'll need a separate subwoofer amp. Run an RCA connection from your AVR's subwoofer output to the subwoofer amp, and run wires from the subwoofer amp to your sub.
